A Yogi lives on moderate Sattvic diet

Do you know that a Yogi goes through a major diet change once he or she becomes firmly established on the path of Yoga?

As a living Yogi, I remembered the first shift in my diet happened when I decided to become a vegetarian in January 2007 after taking the initiation as a Nithya Spiritual Healer from my Guru, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji). My better half was struggling with my decision because he said that many Yoga teachers (referring to my fellow yoga teacher friends) were not vegetarian, why the need to make such a drastic decision. See, the enjoyment of food is one major sense pleasure for him, not able to enjoy food with his wife was too much for him. The purification nature of Yoga just made this decision a natural evolution for me by the grace of Swamiji. Swamiji cautioned us that anything you eat, that becomes you! One part of what you eat becomes your bones, muscles, flesh, blood, words, thinking, feeling and your Being! Food plays a vital role in our life, not just the body-mind, but also in our consciousness.

Naturally my life was hell because my body was aching so much and my inner space was shrinking into restlessness and constant irritation. It was only after I started seeking the higher purpose in life that I was able to heal my body-mind and drop all the wrong cognitions which I was carrying about life which were inserted into my consciousness by the unconscious society.

I was reminded of a perfect analogy given by Swamiji which shifted my cognition completely and I never have to struggle anymore!
